> No {{{NotoEmoji-Regular.ttf}}} in TBB 5.5.1 for Win, no emoji.
It appears that the Emoji font I add to the whitelist for Windows, Segoe
UI Emoji, is not always available on Windows 7. So there are a couple of
alternatives:
1. Whitelist Segoe UI Symbol instead. This covers a lot of Emoji
characters, although they are monochrome.
2. Whitelist both. This of course allows Windows 7 and earlier to be
distinguished from later versions, but there are other ways to distinguish
these fonts.
3. Bundle `NotoEmoji-Regular.ttf` with Windows and remove Segoe UI Emoji
from the whitelist. This makes the Emoji fonts identical on all versions
of Windows. The Emojis don't look the quite the same as the native Windows
fonts.
I'm inclined to go for the third option. Does anyone else have an opinion?
